that “some people really are hotheaded than the others”, (Wyer, et al. 1993) who state that “communication

readers to easily absorb the meaning. All words are understandable and light. There are no large vocabularies
and there is clarity of language. English language is used in this article since it is the universal language. All

Glancing at the article, clear assertion of claims and arguments exhibits a complete fairness. There is no
unfair preference for all of the topics and doesn’t give a one-sided argument. The authors do not rely on
unsupported or unsubstantiated claims. They didn’t present any highly selected facts that lean to a certain

every people must execute it to lessen ill effects of anger and create a worldwide peace.

Another aspect for evaluative criteria is the Logic and Organization of the article. Here, the article
impressively presents the arrangement of ideas and the chronological pattern of the structure. The article
begins with the introduction by defining anger. The idea of defining first what is the topic about shows a
welcome to the audience. The authors critically introduce the article by stating their main point and what the
article is all about. Their introduction is followed by the subtopics such as the nature of anger reaction, which
states why both biological and psychological changes is accompanied by anger, and the assessment and
formulation of anger problems, which states various variables needed to be considered in the functional
analysis of anger. These subtopics are very considerate and create an important role before stating the focus

them and include every simple detail just to explain it to the audience. Those strategies made the article a
lively appearance and signaled future researchers to replicate it. Lastly, they end up with a clear and concise
conclusion that totally sums up the article and answered all the questions to the mind of the readers.

There is no perfect article and indeed there are common fallacies that the author made and needs to
be removed and improved. The common fallacies that the author made are over simplification, exaggeration,
and hasty generalization. In the statement “The people’s aggression and violence by their own anger” we can
find over simplification here since not only anger contributes to people’s aggression and violence. Once again,
there is a wide variety of different factors which can influence aggression and violence, they can be sadness,
happiness also, lack of moral knowledge and many more. While, the statement “Angry people tend to curse,
swear or speak in highly colorful terms when they are angry” exhibits hasty generalization. People knows that
not all angry people swears and saying worst things, sometimes they shut their mouth, wait before they are
calm, and calmly utter their inner thoughts. Though, their thinking can get very exaggerated and overly
dramatic, they can be quiet to avoid broaden serious problems.

Overall, the authors do their very best to come up with a certain kind of article that speaks clearly,
communicate with knowledge, and can be a reliable source for other research purposes. All claims and
arguments are supported by facts and truly contributed a lot to the article. The authors gave what people
deserve and team up to deliver positive results. All information is essential and totally helps people to manage
their anger. The behavioral and cognitive strategies are all effective and attainable. The authors perfectly
